micro braids

Miniature woven strands

Micro braids are extremely small, thin braids created by sectioning hair into tiny portions and plaiting each one.

The style requires hours of work but lasts for weeks, offering versatility—micro braids can be worn loose, styled into updos, or gathered into ponytails.
